A review
Posted 19:35, Friday 12 May 06.
So… what do I want to talk about, today?
How about a review of my "family" on the web, such as I see it?
Yes... Let's start with John. Ze boss of ze Maison. An enigmatic figure, that John! Enthusiastic at times, never exuberant, often taciturn but not moody (at least in public). Doesn't show his feelings. When something doesn't please him, he remains silent and ignores, stiff upper lip, the source of inconvenience. In short, a gentleman through and through...!
Lox. Haha! Lox...! Un italiano vero! Gets carried away easily and seems to lose his temper quickly on trivial matters. However his ire doesn't last long, for he is good-hearted. No deeply rooted resentment.
Nigel. Craving for contact, like me. A civil servant... who has always a spare moment to chat on the blog! Doesn't seem to swear. Never says anything insulting regarding anyone. Good-hearted too. Always prompt to come to someone's help.
Mad Mumsie. A sparkling bit of a lady.
Sheri. Insane. Mental. A trifle arrogant. Talented but lacks discipline. Lazy at times. Too frank. Always speaks up his mind, particularly when he ought not to. Also too kind. Doesn't like humans, though he cannot resolve to trample on them.
And what about the others... Travis, Kev, Rob ? I don't know. They remain obscure, somehow.
Comment 1:
Sheri, you know that Travis is quite a bastard. Other than that, little is known.

Little note on my review... I don't feel like "an italiano vero", I quite hate my country, and I am very critic of it. I love foreign countries and I always comapare pizzaland with them... You could say that I am a "true Florentine" that's more accurate, as Florence is clearly the best city of the world! :)

Travis. Come, come! You're not a bastard! Don't be too harsh on yourself! You're just......... american! From Texas what's more! ;-)

Comment 4:
Lox. I forgot to add: 'a chauvinistic Florentine'...!

Comment 5:
Sheri, I'm not from Texas, actually. I was born in Coaldale, Pennsylvania. I lived there until I was 23. I moved to Texas for graduate school.

Comment 6:
Sheri: a very interesting perspective - I am totally fascinated by what impression I leave on other people.
...so I suppose you missed out of my description "is secretly self obsessed, and has a massive ego complex"...!

Comment 7:
I believe we all have an ego complex, John.

Comment 8:
I think you have got John to a tee( except for when he went through his culling phase )
To throw some light on myself: I have been called in the past 'Worst case scenario Kev'. I am in fact a pessimist with the view that if you think of the worst that can happen, anything better is a bonus!

Comment 9:
Travis: you're half forgiven, then!
Kev: One could argue that your philosophy has some merit...
I have my doubts, though!

Comment 10:
Bad joke alert...!
I used to be a pessimist, but eventually decided that way of thinking was doomed to failure.

Comment 11:
That's a good one, John! Nothing bad about it! C'est ce qu'on appelle de l'humour par l'absurde (humour by contradiction). The best in my opinion (and so British, in truth).

Comment 12:
I'm sure there's a whole set of these awful gags, in the same line as the old favourite:
I used to indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!

As I've told you a million times before, don't exaggerate!!

Comment 14:
I can't be bothered with being lethargic?

Comment 15:
I used to have a problem with finishing things off, but n-...

God forbid! It's getting worse, John.
